KILLEEN, Texas (KXXV) — The Killeen Independent School Board meets Tuesday to discuss the future of the district.
The district launched an online survey to collect input on the sustainability of district facilities, which 1,300 community members used to provide feedback. Community town hall meetings and key stakeholder groups were also utilized.
